Path of Exile 2 is a boring, tedious Ruthless Souls-Lite grindfest.
It is not IF you will get hacked, but WHEN you will get hacked.
What is Logitech doing to prevent this from happening in the future?
Telescreen monitoring would have required a crazy amount of manpower.
Probably the closest real-world analog was the East German Stasi, which may have accounted for nearly 1 in 6:
The ratio for the Stasi was one secret policeman per 166 East Germans. When the regular informers are added, these ratios become much higher: In the Stasi's case, there would have been at least one spy watching every 66 citizens! When one adds in the estimated numbers of part-time snoops, the result is nothing short of monstrous: one informer per 6.5 citizens. It would not have been unreasonable to assume that at least one Stasi informer was present in any party of ten or twelve dinner guests. Like a giant octopus, the Stasi's tentacles probed every aspect of life.

The good news is that nine-in young people
What is "nine-in".....? New term to me....
The rush is that burning it is buggering up the planet. If the US refuses, it becomes a security issue and we be dealt with appropriately.
Chicken little has been shouting this for waaaay too long....driving our ICE vehicles will not cause the planet wide DOOM scenario....certainly not in any lifetime soon.
We have plenty of time to come up with new and better vehicle power schemes.....
In the USA is it common to have self service tills at supermarkets that accept coins?
If it accepts cash, it should accept both coins and bills. Any change I manage to accumulate usually gets fed into the coin slot at a self-checkout before I swipe a card to provide the rest of the payment. It's better than handing it off to a Coinstar machine, as those skim off a percentage of what you feed them.
"making production decisions" is carrying a lot of water, business decisions are not made in a vacuum, they respond to incentives both from consumers, their competition and the state apparatus. Automakers didn't just decide to add 3-point-seat belt's or emissions controls into vehichles because of their own accord, they were either forced or incentivized to.
Actually the ultimate decision maker here...is the consumer at at least in the US, there just is NOT the market for EVs. The people that want them largely have them.
The general populace is NOT clamoring in mass to have EVs.
There are a number of reasons many involving lack of full infrastructure across the whole of the US....but whatever it is, the demand is not there in the US and well....a company is fucking stupid to build what the public is not demanding.....
Besides, since there's not the full needed infrastructure here across the US, no one really wants them yet, at least not in mass.
Central planning is still better than the lack of planning we see in the USA
Well, never fear comrade....we'll soon see the new communist/socials utopia succeed in New York with Mandani!!!
And remember, in NY..if you can make it there, you can make it ANYWHERE, eh?
If we were to get vehicles at near China's prices its hard to argue that demand for evs wouldn't improve.
Not necessarily.....most of the folks that want and EV, have one.....there just is NOT the demand for them here in the US that you have in other parts of the world.
A lot of this is due to the recharging infrastructure not being in place unless you live at the extreme west and maybe the east coast too.
I live in the New Orleans area....and from the maps and charging station finders I've seen we Still have precious few public charging stations anywhere in this area....
This is typical for most of the US.
With that comes range anxiety, and there's a TON of people, about 1/3 of the nation's populace that can't charge at home due to being in apartment complexes with large parking nots and no chargers or renting homes without chargers out side or no off street parking.
Unless you own your home and can charge at home, it's just a PITA to deal with and EV over here for a significant % of the populace.
I don't want one.....wouldn't work for me.
Never mind that their FSD is more capable than any current system on the market today.
What is "FSD"? New term to me....
... was how to disable it.
Sigmund Freud is alleged to have said that in the last analysis the entire field of psychology may reduce to biological electrochemistry.
